Matthew’s Product Management Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Product Manager
Matthew has helped clients get into these companies:
Hey I’m Ollie! and I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve navigated countless applications, refined my resume dozens of times, and pushed through burnout and self-doubt while trying to break into (or level up in) Product Management. My journey started as a product manager — leading product at an edtech startup, then working on technical product initiatives at Amazon — before landing my current role at Asana, where I build GenAI products. After hundreds of interviews and the rollercoaster of rejections and breakthroughs, I developed a practical framework to help you play to your strengths, tell your story with confidence, and land the role that truly fits you. My coaching goes beyond templates. I’ll help you clarify & customize your story, amplify your advantages, and stand out authentically in the competitive world of PM. I’m passionate about helping aspiring and transitioning product managers navigate their career paths, from resume building and interview prep to mindset rebuilding and strategic positioning. Let’s connect and create a personalized plan to help you stand out and succeed in the competitive world of product management.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how isolating and overwhelming the PM journey can feel, especially when you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results. Years ago, I was in the same place: customizing my resume/behavioral stories late at night, doubting my worth after rejections, and trying to rebuild confidence&hope after several burnouts. What changed everything for me was the right mentality and professional guidance — mentors who helped me see my own story differently, reframe my mindset, and show up with clarity and conviction. Now, I want to be that person for others. Coaching, to me, isn’t just about landing a job, it’s about helping you discover your true passion, play to your strengths, and design a practical, achievable path that helps you manifest your vision into reality.
